I run 15. I use RDL, and reshiram to clean up after magnezone.Well, maybe they don't have enough energy. I think I have 17 energy in mine...18 is probably safer. The deck must have 7 lightning in it in my opinion.
Zoroark may be more helpful because it can OHKO a RDL.

In what deck? So many cards OHKO it already like zekrom, reshiram, RDL, magnezone, emboar ("bad"), and machamp prime (after placing a few damage counters with earthquake or rainbow energy)
You could always try Cinccino with a plus power. It takes 2 colorless and OHKOs Mega with a full bench and the PlusPower. Or you could try Zoroark and snipe their benched Cleffas or Hoppips.

a rainbow energy in your hand, in your deck, or in the discard counts as a colorless energy. you can't use typhlosion's power to bring it out of discard, you can't use unown Dark to get it out of the deck, you can't use gatr, floatzel, or emboar to attach it without it counting as the 1 energy per turn. I know it's already been pointed out, but I didn't see if it was explained as to why it couldn't be used that way.

also, a good yanmega prime counter is Lanturn prime. one lightning and 2 colorless to OHKO Yanmega prime, Donphan prime, Reshiram, blastoise.. pretty much anything with 140 HP or less with a X2 weakness to electric or water. downside, it gets OHKO'd back pretty easily since it only has 110 HP.
Phan: T2
Reshiram: T3-4
I'm playing devil's advocate but lol, throwing that out there. Magneboar? Turn 5. Shoot cuz.

How do you not see Donphan doin much? Anyways, I think the closest to a BDIF we willl get is Zekrom, it has a rough time against Donphan, yes, but it can just destroy your opponent with fast & heavy hits, it willl definetely be better when Catcher comes out. Although I am not refering to SpeedZekrom, but rather the Zekrom w/late game.
Noah's Reshiram: T8-9
That's like one turn against reshiboar. Reshiboar will be able to get 1HKO's against donphan with 2 pluspowers(not everytime but still). I think Reshi has the advantage in the matchup.

if u run an ampharos prime tech in magneboar youll win the mirror and any emboar variant.

Unless you lose because trying to get out 3 Stage 2s makes your deck slow and inconsistent.

I really don't see how that gives you ANY advantage, honestly. That puts two counters on each Magnezone, which doesn't decrease the number of energy required to Lost Burn KO. The remaining energy can be spread to any Pokemon, Emboars, etc. Why does it matter if I place counters on my benched Pokemon? Its not like you're sniping.

I've been playing since base set, skipped the entire EX era and most of the SP madness. but getting out 2 stage 2's turn two has never been an issue for me. rare candy = pokemon breeder, pokemon communication = pokemon trader, juniper = professor oak (kind of) and with collector being used T1 just makes it loads easier. and yes, I do run 3 different stage 2 lines in my HS-on deck. and eventhough my stage 2's are all techs/secondary attackers, I can still get them out super fast. if I see a tepig, I get out amphy. it's seriously easy.

emboar will either use Ninetales as draw engine or shuckle. with the same statements as people are making that too many stage 2's are hard to make work, a basic is easier to setup than a stage 1. I see shuckle being a huge draw engine and with Ampharos, it limits the draw. and if you're going to OHKO an ampharos, you need to LZ 3 energy and go first, or hope they can get heads and attack for 80 otherwise say bye to your electric energies on magnezone.
